Even though I HATE pictures of me because of the extra weight, I don't want to lose a record of a portion of my life. Now that the weight is coming off, I want to share this picture.
It's me, 20 lbs ago. I can look at this and say, "I nev... Read more

Hubby and I were out shopping yesterday and went to my favorite store, Pennington's!

So one of my New Year's resolutions was to exercise at least 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes. That goal is going strong!
Another was to COMPLETE some projects I had started. You have to have more than just exercise and diet goals t... Read more

Well here's a new year and new goals. My neighbour asked me to come over and exercise with her. She has a recumbant bike and I'm going over after work to peddle my ass off for 30 minutes a day. hahaha!
